    Hurray Lynz, you're back :D

    Hopefully you'll be able to inject some inspiration in me cos I've been busy reading Matched Betting rules for almost a week solid and unable to think about anything else!!

    I've signed up for 2 junk food eating mystery shops for this weekend so not sure how my body's gonna feel come Monday :eek:

    Only if you get it wrong ;)

    Just make sure you read the guide on the gambling loopholes board like 1,000 times & ask questions if you're still not sure - the folk over there are all really helpful. Probably a good idea to post your bet before you actually do it to make sure it gets the all-clear. I'd had a couple of ciders & was feeling confident :p so went ahead and placed the bets before checking. Then I started to panic & asked the experts to check for me anyway :o

    If you do make a mistake, post for help asap & you should be able to minimize any loss if you catch it in time.

Im not hundred percent yet tho on what is actually about. the way i see it is I bet £10 on man u to win and £10 somwhere else to lose in another company (using free bets) at least one will win and therefore making a profit from the free bet. The thing with that is what if they draw??? ahhh im so blonde its terrible

    Another £10.70 to add thanks to Opinion Bar. It's another survey site, if anybody wants to join link is:

    You need to get to £10 to redeem by bank transfer. It used to be Quickwise. Surveys aren't that bad and usually quite short. Had two today one for £2 and one for 10p, edged me over the £10 mark!

    The basic idea is that you bet on them winning at the bookie's & bet on them not winning at betfair.

    So if the team wins, you win at the bookie's and lose at betfair.
    If the team draws or loses, you lose at the bookie's and win at betfair.

    If you bet on them to win at one bookies & bet on them to lose at another, you'll lose at both bookies if the result is a draw.

    Like you say, the idea is to qualify for the free bet while losing as little of your own money as possible (usually pence), and then extract as much of the bonus as possible. All with the least amount of risk possible.

    Hope that makes sense?

    MBing is officially brilliant!!! :T :T :T

    Just made another £20+ by taking advantage of Coral's 'CHIP' & 'SEDUCTION' promo codes for £10 each (I made a little extra as I made lucky mistakes with a couple of qualifying bets) There's a new £10 code every month, so I'll be there on Sunday to take advantage of that :D

    This means I've broken the £300 barrier a lot sooner (and more easily) than I thought:

    AQA: £77.10
    Quidco: £198.66 tracked/validated/received
    MBing: £30.49

    Total: £306.25
